Fact on crime
Mayor Adams needs to ship desk-duty law enforcement officials on patrol in response to hovering crime (“NYPD taps the mop-up crew,” Aug. 29).
What’s the goal of this, until the governor fires District Legal professional Alvin Bragg, who is continually letting criminals off the hook? Violent criminals are free to roam the streets, because of Bragg and Gov. Hochul.
As an alternative of Adams worrying about police on desk responsibility, he ought to exit on the streets with out a police element and see firsthand what the town is actually like.Adams is a joke, a political hack. He loves taking part in the cop card when it fits him, however he has let the town deteriorate even worse than former Mayor Invoice de Blasio.

Capsules for teenagers
When the pharmaceutical trade satisfied the medical group that emotional-behavior points have been just like psychological sickness, the gateway was opened for this extreme utilization of those medicine, with out confirmed outcomes or acknowledgment of potential long-term uncomfortable side effects, together with potential habit (“Opening eyes to pill popping,” Karol Markowicz, Aug. 30).
As soon as once more, dad and mom have been deceived by flashy advertising concerning the unproven advantages of medicine for our youth as a manner of giving dad and mom some kind of aid from the stress of dealing with kids’s emotional points.
It’s equally stunning that so many dad and mom ignored historic knowledge that wholesome consuming and exercising are confirmed cures for emotional behaviors.
I used to be lucky to teach my niece’s dad and mom concerning the threat within the Nineties after they acquired a observe from the college nurse wanting to supply medicine for my niece’s nervousness habits. As a nutritionist, I advised that we modify her eating regimen. In only one month, her signs stopped.
It is extremely unhappy to examine kids who’ve been used as topics in an trade whose principal goal is new clients, not bettering the well being of youngsters.

Reagan vs. Trump
I learn Steven Hayward’s column on former President Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev and saved excited about the distinction in that relationship to the one between former President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin (“They Did It Together,” PostOpinion, Aug. 31).
Reagan was congenial however agency, cordial and interesting however resilient in his tone, tenor and message to the then-Soviet chief. Distinction that to Trump’s pandering to Putin on a number of events and it’s clear that whereas Reagan and Trump are each former presidents, just one was an actual chief able to attaining steadiness with a strong rival.
Trump’s newest episode with categorised paperwork is one more instance of a carnival barker searching for consideration whereas the USA and the world has moved on. He’s a tragic distinction to Reagan, who at all times appeared to rise to the event.

The Panthers ought to keep in mind they obtained what they voted for within the final mayoral election.
That neighborhood most popular the smug vegan Mayor Adams, not Curtis Sliwa and his many years of volunteer crime-fighting.We must always all say a prayer for Moose, who died by the hands of a rampaging lunatic that the cowardly Adams administration fears confronting, whereas reminding Prospect Park guests of violence to come back in the event that they hold voting with their hearts, not their minds.
